This morning the WSJ editorial board is begging Donnie to just shut up. It turns out Rupert is upset that Biden's DOJ is keeping Trump in the spotlight because Rupert knows Donnie has no chance of winning in 2024. The WSJ editors ask GOP primary voters to read the indictment, (they provide a handy link).

I've not heard such anguish and whining at the Journal since Tricky Dick went down. I asked ChatGPT to write a haiku celebrating this moment. Hilarious, sounds like a 13 year old who realized Liam Payne doesn't know she exists.

In darkest abyss,
Anguish devours my essence,
Soul screams, trapped in pain.

santefe, One key aspect missing from your analysis is the fact that both the Rep and Dem hierarchy have long been mere branches of the same tree / power structure, what Eisenhower called called the 'Military Industrial Complex'. An expanded term for it today would be the Financial Military Media Security Complex. It's an oligarchical structure, and a key goal is to deflect criticism away from itself by keeping the public divided into Red/Blue and permanently squabbling - a classic 'divide + rule' technique. The media is a key cog in maintaining the permanent divisions.

Anyway, something to consider. The public (us) have a lot more in common with each other, sharing as we do a common enemy (the oligarchy). So the media (a propaganda arm of the oligarchy) must keep the public divided. The concept is simple, and has been used throughout history, from the Romans to the British Empire, down to the present day. You are a brainy guy, and probably already realize this, or at least suspect it. Anyway, just my 2 cents :o)

Christopher Kise, a former solicitor general of Florida was paid $3 million upfront to join Trump’s legal team last year.

Kise tried to interest Trump in a negotiated settlement with the Justice Department last year, by promising a professional approach and the return of all documents.

But Trump was not interested, instead seeking out attorneys who would fight for "his right" to keep classified government documents.

Interviews with seven Trump advisers with knowledge of the probe indicate he misled his own advisers, telling them the boxes contained only newspaper clippings and clothes. He repeatedly refused to give the documents back, even when some of his longest-serving advisers warned of peril and some flew to Mar-a-Lago to beg him to return them.

Later, facing a grand jury subpoena, the former president worked quietly with his aide Walt Nauta, a former Naval Petty Officer, to move the classified documents without telling his own lawyers, leading to a false attestation that every document had been returned.


I can only assume if asked about his plans for the future, Trump may express a strong desire to meet Lonni Willison and smoke some crack with her.
